Some of USC Football’s best players from last season took their talents to the NFL Draft and their production will be greatly missed at the collegiate level. The Trojans will try not to dwell on the losses, but will instead look within to see who can replace some of their best players from the last year.
Leonard Williams
Williams will be the hardest player to replace, simply because of how talented and impactful he is. He is regarded by many as the top overall prospect in the upcoming draft; that kind of talent is not easily replaced.
It will be a group effort to replace this defensive force, but thankfully, USC has the personnel and depth to make up for the loss of Williams.
USC returns a lot of experience in a pair of redshirt seniors Delvon Simmons and Claude Pelon. Antwaun Woods will also make an impact at nose tackle once he comes back from his injury that limited him during spring practices. Scott Felix should provide good pressure after injuries to other players gave him some valuab21 Mar 2015 01:52:11 -0400http://network.yardbarker.com/college_football/article_external/who_will_replace_past_stars_for_usc_football/s1_7899_18493469

Saturday when the No. 14 and No. 13 teams in the nation met (USC and Stanford) good, clean, and hard fought was not what the fans got. Instead it was a game filled with errors, mistakes, and penalties. It was the kind of game where you can't afford to lose a key player--like a starting linebacker.But when you hit someone like this that is exactly what is going to happen--right Hayes Pullard?@SBNationGIF/TwitterRead more »06 Sep 2014 18:31:00 -0400http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/usc_lb_hayes_pullard_ejected_from_uscstanford_game_for_targeting/s1_11533_17221715

Lack of available scholarships the past few years has affected the depth of this group, but most of the guys that will see the field already have starting experience under their belts. This group brings experience and playmaker ability behind an above average defensive line. The front seven will be the glue that holds together this USC football team.
Hayes Pullard
Senior Hayes Pullard is the leader of the group and will anchor what should be a solid defense throughout the year. He will start at inside backer playing the Mike position. He is a team captain and has led the team in tackles two of the last three years. Behind him is sophomore Michael Hutchings. Had Pullard chosen not to return for his senior season, Hutchings would be primed to have a breakout year in the middle of the defense. While still having an impact on games this year, he will need to wait one more year to captain the defense.
